11 TESTS
11.1 Test Requirements
Prior to delivery, the units shall have completed the type, routine and accuracy
tests and inspections as required by the relevant Australian Standards and as
required by AS 60044.3 Chapter 6.
The passing of such tests shall not prejudice the right of Horizon Power to reject
the Equipment if it does not comply with the Specification when installed.
11.1.1 Type Tests

Representative selection of CT-VT units shall be Type tested in accordance with
this specification and the AS 60044.3 Section 6.2. Horizon Power reserves the
right to witness Type Tests and shall be given advance notice by the Vendor to
be available to witness such tests.
Type Testing shall be undertaken by a NATA (National Association of Testing

Authorities) accredited test house or by a test house possessing accreditation
from a NATA MRA (Mutual Recognition Agreement) partner. A formal report
covering the outcome of the testing shall be made available to Horizon Power.
Evidence shall be submitted by the Vendor indicating that all type tests required
by the relevant Australian Standards listed in Table 1 have been satisfactorily
carried out on CT-VT units of an identical design. Vendor to provide proof of
NATA accreditation of Test Facility.

Where CT-VT units have been tested to International Standards only, sufficient
type test evidence shall be submitted to confirm equivalence of CT-VT units
performance to the relevant Australian standard.
Accuracy tests shall include current flow in both directions through the current
transformer of the CT-VT Unit
1) Current transformers shall be tested in accordance with AS 60044.1

Sections 11.4 & 11.5.
2) Voltage transformers shall be tested in accordance with AS 60044.2
Sections 12.3 & 12.4.
11.1.2 Routine Tests

Individual Routine tests shall be applied to each individual CT-VT unit in
accordance with this specification and the AS 60044.3 Section 6.3. Horizon
Power reserves the right to witness an agreed program of Routine Tests to
assure of the competence of the manufacturing facility to deliver consistently
conforming CT-VT units. The Vendor shall in all cases make all necessary
provisions with the testing and/or manufacturing facilities to enable witnessing to
take place. An Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) shall be provided to Horizon
Power prior witnessing of tests.
All routine tests performed on a batch of CT-VT units shall be submitted to

Horizon Power prior to first delivery of that batch CT-VT units.
12 DOCUMENTATION AND SAMPLES

12.1 Type Test Certificates/Reports
Test certificates, test reports or any other supporting documents supplied as
evidence for compliance to relevant standards or safety instructions shall be
made available in English for review by Horizon Power.
12.2 Samples
Any deviations between the Equipment supplied as a sample to Horizon Power
and the Equipment offered in the Proposal shall be detailed by the Vendor.
12.2.1 Test Samples

For the purpose of evaluation, test samples may be requested by Horizon
Power. Each sample shall be labelled with a robust tag stating:
1) Vendor Name;
2) Equipment Number;
3) Stock Code; and
4) Appropriately identified in Appendix F of this Specification.
When requested, the Vendor shall supply Horizon Power test samples free of
charge and within 4 weeks of the request.

APPENDIX A REVISION INFORMATION
(Informative) Horizon Power has endeavoured to provide standards of the highest quality
and would appreciate notification if any errors are found or even queries raised.
Each Standard makes use of its own comment sheet which is maintained throughout the life
of the standard, which lists all comments made by stakeholders regarding the standard.
A comment sheet found in DM: 3676809 can be used to record any errors or queries found
in or pertaining to this standard, which can then be addressed whenever the standard gets
reviewed.
